Time for a spot of soul searching? you’re the only person on here who seems to agree with Redknapp... 

 

I'm a man of principles surrounded by men of none.

Has the Trippier situation caused issues?

[acrossthepond 878]

I hesitate to say this but I don't think it was a handball, and it certainly wasn't a slam dunk. Had he controlled the ball with that part of his body in open play, it wouldn't have been given as handball. If we'd scored that and it was disallowed, I'd be furious. We got away with it.

Possible. It sounds like he wants out and without him we are a worse team.

I doubt it amongst the players per se. My impression of Howe is that it isn't going down well with him though. It's his biggest challenge at NUFC to date in my opinion.

probably with his wife.

I would say it’s a bit harsh on Bournemouth. It could have easily been decided it was a shoulder. But then I have no fucking idea what the handball rule is these days so the refs could have got this right.

I think he hasn’t been able to improve his squad much this season. In fact I’d go as far to say it’s weaker than the start of the last season. 
 

If Ruddy is our second choice then we are in trouble if Pope gets injured again.

Aye I can't disagree but there's still a week left and we don't know what's at play.

He intimated that this was the most challenging window so far (not sure if meant his entire career or just at nufc) so I think he’ll be very frustrated if he doesn’t get the players he wants in the window.

We probably deserved zero points out first two games and we’ve got 4. Take it and run.

There's a lot resting on Tonali coming back into the middle. We looked clueless after we conceded today. A new RW is imperative and I'd be giving Barnes a start next game

Na it's handball like. I'd have accepted it the other way round. Probably by Wednesday.

Our pre-season has been shit.  We need to play better opposition and get the fitness up.

No. It's the wrong accountants coach class area. 

I thought it was a goal. Then I saw the replay and the ball definitely rebounded around or below short sleeve level. Correct VAR decision. And I've seen dozens of decisions more controversial go against us before. I shrug, get on with it. Draw was a factually and morally correct result. Either team could have won it. Neither will be happy, but we will be more relieved.

Definitely hit him above the sleeve like. VAR did us a favour.

If I have grandkids and one of them is about to run onto the road behind a parked car and there's an oncoming car about to mow them down I just hope big Joe is a passer-by to save them.
